How to add smooth Player Movement?-CodePudding

I have added the player movement in the Update() function using the code below:

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
{
    transform.position  = transform.right * (Time.deltaTime * 5);
}
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
{
    transform.position -= transform.right * (Time.deltaTime * 5);
}

This works, however, the movement is choppy. The user would have to click on the left arrow multiple times to have the object move left and the same for the right arrow. I want to have the user click on the left arrow while the object keeps moving left until the left arrow is released. How do I go about doing this?

CodePudding user response：

Use Input.GetKey("KeyName") instead of Input.GetKeyDown("KeyName").

transform.Translate(Vector3.right * Time.smoothdeltatime* 5);
transform.Translate(Vector3.left * Time.smoothdeltatime* 5);
